Even at 8am already got ppl line up in front but still ok. Skytree queue need 1-2 hours also cause I didn't buy in advance. They will give u a pre-ticket with fixed time for u to come back 1-2 hours later. So u can go shopping and come back later. Even when reach the time u go in, still need to Q to buy ticket  doh.gif. I wanted to catch sunset view with Mt Fuji background but when I enter sky already dark  sad.gif . U try buy in advance but I heard not easy for foreigners.
Oh ya, once u enter Skytree the lift will take u to the middle floor. Upper floor need to pay extra. Once u exit the lift, u can take the stairs down one floor with less crowd not so packed with Chinese tourist then later climb back up. If u have time u can try Landmark Tower at Yokohama.
*
do u guyz know bout tokyo tower hmm.gif , im more interested in it than the skytree brows.gif
i will be going on weekend
i read they allow us to use the staircase thumbup.gif
600+ steps and after completed... we will get a special certification/token as souvenir icon_idea.gif

so here is the question, do i need to queue for the entrance? like limited ticket?
im planing for the sunset view as well... i hope i wont miss it sweat.gif
and im not using the lift... walk and snap pix all the way flex.gif
more fun rite? hehehe

Or you can try Mori tower 53rd floor in Roppongi. There is a restaurant there and lunch its not expensive. I have a pass which allows me to go up for free and lunch at 1000yen. Visitors I think need to pay 1,500 yen to go up and lunch maybe the same.

IT field? brows.gif
Mori Tower seem not bad, and it open up until 25:00 during weekend...

QUOTE(electron @ Jan 21 2015, 10:49 AM)
can't help you with parking in Otaru. Google map the area to get an idea
i'm expecting traffic to be high during the time you are there and parking maybe a challenge to find
As for food, there are lots of eateries there. It depends one what you want
There's a place called Masazushi which seemed very popular. Didn't manage to go in when i was there due to an estimated 1hour wait (and also because i had enough of queuing from the previous day's dinner of about 2 hours in JR Tower). You can try your luck. The area around there has some road side parking too. If you are lucky enough, you can park there, eat around there, and then walk down to the canal
alternatively, there's a popular soba place near the JR station in Otaru
but what i like best are the many shops around Otaru that sells grilled fresh, live seafood
you may want to save some space for the dessert (Le Tao, Kitakaro, etc). It's good but i won't say the best in Hokkaido (best for me is in Furano), but treat it as a rite of passage, just like going to Tsukiji when in Tokyo
*
OTARU parking is damn damn damn expensive... i parked there!!!
i think i park for few hours only, cost me rm7X

in otaru, i recommend King Crab!!! and pls skip Hairy Crab no nice
then dessert, there is few shop only sell their product here and not in airport smile.gif (do homework)
if u r up to challenge, u can try the famous icecream in the winter tongue.gif (forget name)

i personally think the canal is waste of time, u can straight goto Music Box... and here is the tips
outside of the music box shop... wait until XX:00 time "sharp" for special event tongue.gif

QUOTE(ping325 @ Jan 21 2015, 12:05 PM)
thanks for the tips ... i thought the canal is the main highlight for the otaru light festival at night ?
i plan to park at the building beside the canal , probably for 4-5 hours
for niseko hotel they charge me 1000 yen for one day parking ...

hmm.gif im not too sure, for me it is jus average canal and i didnt stay until night

I'm so sick now and been sick since the past two days. That explains the absence of me in this thread. I really don't know how I can make it through for my next week's trip and it is winter. Sucks to be sick now. Oh well, I did fall sick when I was in Beijing last year's winter.

cry.gif

Anyway, I haven't been doing a lot of homework and kinda giving up already. So, I will just wake up and decide where to go. rclxub.gif

Back to this thread, I read from page 1 to 7 and I saw some disagreements in between. Please be mindful that the purpose for a thread to exist is to discuss and help each other. What is the point of being so harsh for those newcomers? While I don't agree on spoonfeeding but come on, talk about shopping is not welcomed? I certainly don't agree on this and will not tolerate.

RegentCid, this is not the first time I'm seeing such replies from you and I did receive reports for you hostile attitude as well. This is not the kind of attitude or discussion we are encouraging here.

Take note and have a nice day.

protecting urself for not doing homework?
dont worry this thread is very lenient toward women, i can spoonfeed with my limited homework wub.gif

well, actually we hardly cares if men ask tongue.gif hehehe

now some spoonfeed on food... my limited homework

No, I'm not. Like I said, I really don't really bother anymore, it makes me more confused now and my brain can't think straight anymore. tongue.gif
So, just let it be and thanks for your makan tips. I was still thinking to go to which shop in Tsukiji, now I have more idea. Was thinking to just go into any shop that has lesser crowd. I heard any shop there is good. 2 hours of Daiwa, I'm really thinking hard now. tongue.gif
*
seriously, if u r going to choose sushidai...
u have to stay in tsukiji/ginza area
wakeup 4am, queue at 4:30am

and let say u able to stay 2nite, u can join the tuna auction
wake 3am queue at 3:30am

extra... on weekday, ur queue is shorter by 30mins tongue.gif

no need daiwa, better to choose Yamazaki tongue.gif
